  1. i think ray thought that you didn't use the post the copper lug was on. But extreme auto said that he messed his post on the alt up by using the wrong terminal like you might have so maybe you should look into that not saying its to late to fix but if your gonna change to the one they sent you might as well look at the post while you are there

    that was my plan, it just popped into my head after scrolling through youtube and seeing all these people running such small amount of batts and around the power i have and a 270amp alt and keeping in the low 13's full tilt, made me think, well shit i did something wrong here

    i mean my alts been in for awhile now, about the 2nd day after i got it, i might run to autozone and get it tested, if itll read that high, i know how some dont, maybe ill get lucky

    right on maybe do the autozone first if you can that way when you fix you could see how much better it gets :good:

    just hoping there meter reads that high lol

  3. Im guessing hes not actually charging

    The post is the only real output from the alt, so whoknows wtf hes got goin on

    Im suprised freshman... your not a newb here

    im an electrical noob, thats my downfall, MECP my ass :shrug: , i have 2 runs front to back 1 neg(off the front batt to the back batt), 1 pos off the alt, i think ill freeze my ass off tom. and find this lug and use it, unless my dumb ass used it for something else >.>, either way THAT lug will be going on the alt, ill be checking if i sanded down the ground point on the alt, if i dident, thatll be coming off, i have the batts grounded in the spare tire well also, i checked both grounds with a dmm and both read .01 so thats perfect, even when i was at 1 ohm with my other set of 15's i was yeilding roughly the same numbers as the .5 and 2ohm wiring

    also, anytime im not using my single plug outside the batts ARE infact on a charger, and all night before shows

    also @ ray, i used the lug i already had on all my big 3 wires, it fits on there perfect

  4. so, i got my mechman a few months ago, installed it after 5 hours of banging the old one out and grinding down the mounting feet on the new one to get it to fit(it was slightly off, bench grinder ftw) anywho....i have 2 xs d2400's backing up my DC3.5k which is wired down to .5, now for the annoying kicker...my jeep charges at 13.6, so cold startup im sitting 14.3 then it drops and levels somewhere between 13.9-14.1, after driving for a bit it drops down to 13.5, but kicks right back up once i tap the gas, BUT heres my problem, i drop to freaking low 11's full tilt, wtf? whats the problem here? i have 0g from the alt stud to the + on the batt, mounting stud to - on the batt, then - on the batt to the frame, now i cant remember if i sanded down where i put the ground on the alt, but i wouldent think that that could cause that huge of a problem, i also dident use the given lug for the + run that mechman provided, again i couldent see this as much of a problem, 3rd, i have my back batts running of the alt itself, youd think itd be a bit better, even with my amp running @ 2ohm i get roughly the same drop at full tilt, im mind boggled here, its a 270amp unit** 02 jeep grand cherokee laredo inline 6

  5. im gunna thread jack....i need the underdash metal piece that holds the actul dash piece on (the metal piece stops the steering colum from smashing into your nuts in an accident, someone tossed it wile at school -.-

  6. im just looking for a few examples for a friend ill be doing work with in the near future, its a M3 with 500hp to the wheels(in progress) after hes done ill be doing the audio work, as far as i know he wants a single sub, something cheap but not shitty, aswell as an amp to go with it, opinions? also pics of installs if you got em, anyone work with m3's before? its a 99 e36m3 iirc, whats the spare tire well like on those? big? just not sure how ill go about doing it

  7. mines doing the same thing, i figured its just cuz im pulling a bunch of current, but i have 2 xs D2400s, and a dc 3.5k @ .5ohms, ill be steady at 13.9 @ 2k and itll drop to low 11's, im running straight off the alt to my batts in the back, not a clue why its so low, i was doing about the same with my stock 136 amp alt, its now a 270 amp...and it doesnt change to much wired at 2ohms
